I have been shooting this for a bit in the early morn and grabbed enough to give it a run. I had to crop a bit because of some red gradients but I like the way it turned out. I just processed it as a color image, no synthetic LUM. I hope you all enjoy!! Comments and CRITICS always welcome. Thanks for looking, Jimmy THE LEEEEEOOOOO TRIIIIIIOOOOOO 15X1200sec 32X600sec ASA N10 F3.59 -40C FLI Microline 11002 OSC NMSkies remote Feb 2013 Post Extras:       NorthBoundTrain Carpal Tunnel Reged: 11/23/11 Re: The Leo Trio!!!

I'm pretty prone to maxing out an image so this was hard for me to keep the background to a minimum. Post Extras:       bill w Postmaster Reged: 03/26/05 Loc: southern california Re: The Leo Trio!!!
